Benefits of technology

This approach enables the treatment of previously untreatable infections by maintaining effective drug concentrations in the bloodstream for a longer period, increasing the maximum tolerated dose and bioavailability of antimicrobial agents, thereby enhancing their efficacy against resistant strains.

Problems solved by technology

However, if a method were available to substantially increase the amount of the antimicrobial drug (e.g., itraconazole) that could be administered, than it might be possible to treat infections hithertofore considered untreatable by this agent.

Preparation of Surfactant Solution (2 Liters) for Microprecipitation

[0097]Fill a properly cleaned tank with Sterile Water for Injection and agitate. Add the required amount of glycerin and stir until dissolution. Add the required amount of deoxycholic acid, sodium salt monohydrate and agitate until dissolution. If necessary, adjust the pH of the surfactant solution with minimum amount of sodium hydroxide and / or hydrochloric acid to a pH of 8.0. Filter the surfactant solution through a 0.2 μm filter. Quantitatively transfer the surfactant solution to the vesse...

Preparation of Surfactant Solution (2 Liters) for Microprecipitation

[0107]The surfactant solution is prepared in two phases. Phase 1 is dispersed phospholipids, whereas Phase 2 includes filtered glycerin. The two fractions are combined prior to pH adjustment.

[0108]Phase 1: Fill a properly cleaned vessel with approximately 700 mL of Sterile Water for Injection, USP (WFI) with agitation at 50-500 rpm. Increase the temperature of the filtrate to 50° C.-70° C. and add the required amount of phospholipids with mixing at 50-500 rpm until complete dispersion is achieved. Document the time and temperature at w...

Abstract

The present invention relates to compositions of submicron- to micron-size particles of antimicrobial agents. More particularly the invention relates to a composition of an antimicrobial agent that renders the agent potent against organisms normally considered to be resistant to the agent. The composition comprises an aqueous suspension of submicron- to micron-size particles containing the agent coated with at least one surfactant selected from the group consisting of: ionic surfactants, non-ionic surfactants, biologically derived surfactants, and amino acids and their derivatives. The particles have a volume-weighted mean particle size of less than 5 μm as measured by laser diffractometry.
